About Founder Chaney Widmer
After many years of writing a design blog and helping friends and family put together homes they loved, self-taught designer Chaney Widmer decided it was time to jump head first into launching her own virtual interior design business. Mix & Match Design Co. was born in 2015 as one of the first online design studios and has worked with clients all over the country ever since!
Her goal is to take the intimidation out of interior design and make it approachable and exciting to make a home a special reflection of the people who live in it. She loves helping clients design spaces that feel warm and inviting, and are functional for their needs.
Chaney is based in Richmond, Virginia, and happily serves clients nationwide.

I believe everyone can create a beautiful, functional home no matter where you live.
PRAISE FOR MIX & MATCH DESIGN COMPANY
"I couldn't be happier with Chaney and Mix & Match design. She was extremely easy to communicate with and really helped me figure out how to use my rather small space in the best possible way. I would highly recommend Chaney and Mix & Match to anyone who has time constraints or just wants professional advice on home decor. Thank you, Chaney!" - James P.
"After recently moving from a tiny Rittenhouse Square one bedroom to a brand new two bedroom apartment more than double the size in the Philadelphia suburbs, we knew we had lots of space to fill! Having had major life transitions include new degrees, new jobs, and a big move to a new town, our plates were pretty full. With so much going on, the thought of trying to fully furnish and decorate a second room (our master bedroom) seemed daunting. We had been following Chaney's blog for a while, which led us to Mix & Match Design Company. We went with the Full Room Design service, which had everything we needed. Chaney gave us a questionnaire to assess our must haves, likes and dislikes, style, and budget. We gave her some pictures of bedrooms that we found on Pinterest as a simple reference point and then she handled the rest. She quickly compiled a board of basic pieces - the bed, dresser, end tables, etc. - and gave us four different options for each major item that we were able to choose from. If there was something that we weren't sure about, she happily gave us alternatives to make sure that we were beyond pleased with our layout. She even added on some accent pieces to tie the room together beautifully. Chaney was always quick to respond and was a pleasure to work with. Once we agreed upon a final design, she sent us a list of all the items along with the links to purchase. How easy is that? We bought everything on the list and put our room together over a long weekend.My husband and I could not be more thrilled with the way it turned out and we can say nothing but great things about this experience! We will recommend Chaney to everyone we know!" - Courtney N.
"Chaney was extremely easy and enjoyable to work with. I asked to be given ideas and she came up with things that I never would have thought of, which is exactly I wanted to work with a designer. She selected products from places that I was unaware of and saved me a ton of time and frustration from not knowing where to start. Super responsive and I'm very happy with things at this point!" - Ted E.
"When we assembled the room, Ryan and I just stood there and whispered how much we love it. Last night, we opened a bottle of red wine and just sat at the table and did a puzzle. In fact, we had a "grand opening" of the dining room and invited some friends over and served a seven course Italian feast. In addition, we had a small group dinner the other night and just shared life around the table... exactly my dream for the room!" - Erin Y.
"Overall, I think it's a fantastic service for the price if you're willing to put in a little work. If you've ever watched the pros on HGTV and thought, "hey, I can do that" and actually tried, you know how hard it actually is to design a beautiful space. The magic in Mix & Match is that it does the hard part and lets you do the easy part. Basically, my room looks like I spent many thousands designing it, but Chaney made it affordable. I'll definitely use their services again!" - JT
